While guys whenever they want to marry they always come back home to look for wife because Nigerian girls over there are nothing to write home about.

Those are the two major ways to get into Canada go and read them. When I applied for Canada permanent residency in 2019 scores to apply were low, now the scores are high. If my friend asks me to show him way, how can i help him. Even me if i applied today my points will be low due to age and wont qualify.Some of those guys you chatted probably dont have papers and are lying low to survive and do menial jobs. They obviously wont be interested in letting u come join them adding to their bills and risking them being arrested. So these people are not discouraging you things are not how it used to be. In 2012 you could easily get usa visit visa enter there find babe marry. Today you cant even get visa interviews date for usa till 2024 nor can you easily find who to marry and convert to papers. So that bro who left in 2012 can’t really help you. Your best bet is student visa these days. And you need 5m to 10m these days

Oga, ur Padi don collect residency for where he dey ohh, una sha no want make we come share jobs and good life with una, if I say I wan come live for ur house with u, so u no go gree? Like say I no go swear for u ni

This is an ideal situation you have described but most won’t pay any rent or for any bills and will just eat your food.

On the other hand it’s soo expensive that most will already have room mates. Things are hard, it’s rare to see people that have an entire house with a spare room.

That arrangement is more likely in calgary.

I’ll put it in perspective, I pay $2950 for a 2 bedroom 2 bath. My spare room is free but it will be hard to take in a roommate mainly because I live with my wife and even then I would need to have a guarantee the person will leave within a month.

My wife and I are even managing to share the space , I can’t imagine another adult with us
Una dey try for that Vancouver sha... almost 3k for 2BR... mehn I twale for una.

I have no idea but all the drug dealers, fraudsters and yahoo boys in Nigeria manage to get their money into Nigeria somehow. There is a reason BDC operators like Mompha are under watch by EFCC. If you consider how many yahoo boys are in Nigeria right now, they all need their money in Nigeria. So my guess is that it is at the very least half… likely much more!


You have no idea but at the same time you are guessing that it is half. How can you have no idea but you are expecting your guess to be taken as valid?

Did you go to school? If yes did you learn English? If yes we’re you also taught critical thinking? If yes how do you put all of that together and conclude that a guess is a fact? How you you put all that together and deduce that I expect anything from you or anybody?

It is probably too late for you to go back to school and relearn English and require your brain especially if long hours in the sun selling pure water has dried it. But when someone says something is a guess, there are hidden implications, one is that he has already told you not to take it as fact!!!

It is not normal to have two jobs. You do that because both jobs are underpaid. A Doctor or an IT Software engineer will have two jobs? For what?
True (sometimes). It is abnormal to have one source of income overseas... Even Billionaires "wears many hats".
Anyone that works less than 4 hours a day and they fold their hands and complain of their pay not being enough is not serious about life (especially if they are immigrants). Before 9am a street sweeper ought to be done with the days job, What are they doing with the rest of the day?

It’s a big fat lie bros. What is at play is called economic TERRITORIALITY. Though it is inherent in every human but it’s worse anywhere poverty is endemic. Most of the time, if an African man invites you to come grab an opportunity, then know that there’s a catch (emphasis on “Most”) I’m trying not to generalize. That’s why I always tell people falling preys to ponzi and betting scams, there’s no free money/opportunity anywhere. AFRICANS ARE NOT BUILT TO HELP OR OPEN ONE ANOTHER TO OPPORTUNITIES. If an African man has a fortune tree in his backyard, he will never let you anywhere near his abode. So bros, you’re implying that these guys didn’t want OP to come face the sad experiences they’ve been though over there right?
They got hit by the reality but to come back home na no no
Pls stop misleading ppl. We all know what’s at play here. They keep telling you the pasture is not greener on the other side but they rather die there than come back home. It’s all man to himself and nobody is willing to share with you his secret to financial freedom (except maybe your blood relations). If you doubt me, ask a retailer where and how he sources for his goods; that you would like to join the business and wait for his reaction cheesy
You spoke well bro,valid points. I just thought they would be those who actually meant it when they tell others life isn't as rosy over there too,not because they want to discourage you but as a result of what they're facing over there

What makes you think sweeping the road in any country can earn you a descent wage in any country? You people are ridiculous.

Streets are swept by machines which are operated by humans. In my city, these humans are paid an average of $45,000 per year.

I could overlook the divergence...Nigeria is volatile yet you want to return to such a place?

I am genuinely curious, why do you want to return to a volatile place?

To oppress those who were “unlucky” to remain in our country, with their unhelpful Økanlawøn swaga.

Every normal human being in western country has more than one job. How many hours would it take an African to sweep oyinbo street? What are they doing with the reminding 20+ hours of the day?

The street sweeper also belongs to a union that would take care of them if they fall sick. If I go and slap the street sweeper and he report, an officer would spend hours searching for me on CCTV and the street and most importantly, if the street sweeper stay away from crime and work on himself, he can make it.

It’s not normal to have more than one job. The job you described consists of 8 hour work days.


People who refuse to help aren’t always selfish or greedy. It Only takes 1 time getting burned after helping someone to learn not to help again. If the person you help does one bad thing, it can possibly ruin your entire livelihood. The risk isn’t normally worth it.

My dear, tell them the truth, everything takes time. No overnight success, if you are emigrating to uk or the west at 30 or 35, why not condition you rmind that it will take you 5 to 10years to get the papers if the goal is to be a full citizen. But we like short cuts and Sharp sharp way of doing things. In the west you have to work hard and be steady. You don't rush into things because you are in a foreign country. But good luck to those taking that risk. Our people too has lost all passion and creativity, now everything is about going to another man's country for economic, political and social refugee. It's sad but God help Nigeria.

zztop:
The sad thing about Nigeria now is that people are just looking to survive. It doesn't appear there is any ambition any more. If you are ambitious why would you want to japa? Nigeria has a population of over 200 Million. If you can't make it in Nigeria then the odds are you won't make it anywhere else. There a lot of false assumption. To really establish yourself in country like UK, it will take at least 10 years . If you are coming to the UK at 30 then you will only just start making it by around age 40. There are lots of young Nigerians here who are just sitting down not doing anything just like eran eleya waiting for a buyer. There are no short cuts in life. Life is difficult in Nigeria but it is also difficult everywhere as a black person you will be at the back of the queue.

There are lots of young Nigerians who seems to be making it.
